German settlers along the
Volga River elected these five men to act as scouts to investigate
land in Nebraska. Those pictured above were, Peter Leiker (Obermunjou),
Peter Stecklein (Zug), Anton Wasinger (Schoenchen), Nicholas Schamne
(Graf), and Jacob Ritter (Luzern). These five men left
Obermunjou, Russia in 1874. They soon returned to Russia with
a favorable report. Colonists would then leave the following
year, 1875 and ultimately settling in Ellis County, Kansas.
